Big Boi & Sleepy Brown - We The Ones (Organized Noize Remix) lyrics

[Intro: Big Rube & CeeLo Green] If we don't stand up, we fall down Without exception, this matter reaches terminal velocity We the ones who fight So I speak for reception of this philosophy Fight, test your might [Chorus: CeeLo Green] We the ones who fight We the ones who fight [Verse 1: Sleepy Brown] Stand up to oppression Stand up to all aggression Stand up, it's time to choose So your children will never lose (Woo) Stand up, you know it's right Stand up with all your might 'Cause you know that [Chorus: CeeLo Green] We the ones who fight (All I know is to keep on goin') Just pretend, yeah, to carry on, carry on (Oh) We the ones who fight (Said, "All I know is to keep on goin'') Just pretend, yeah, to carry on, carry on We the ones who fight (All I know is to keep on goin') Just pretend, yeah, to carry on, carry on (Well, well) [Verse 2: Big Boi] Elevated thinking, higher learnin' And no, I ain't talkin' 'bout this cookie that I'm burnin' My sermon is for the children And for the mommas and the daddies that ain't earnin' Now CVSs burnin' But that's just superficial on the surface The people up in arms 'cause they killin' us on purpose And now they pray for calm 'cause America is nervous Ya heard me? Thank you for your service (Nagga) From a family of military vets My granddaddy and daddy, them were military, yes (Yes) God, God bless the dead Protect the livin' and give us the spirit they keep on killin', 'cause [Chorus: CeeLo Green] We the ones who fight (All I know is to keep on goin') Just pretend, yeah, to carry on, carry on (Oh) We the ones who fight (Said, "All I know is to keep on goin'') Just pretend, yeah, to carry on, carry on We the ones who fight (All I know is to keep on goin') Just pretend, yeah, to carry on, carry on (Well, well) [Verse 3: Killer Mike] I have a cousin named Robert, Robert was a robber Until my partner snitched on him and my cousin got called up First he was tried, then he was convicted After he was sentenced, found conviction through religion Reformed, Robert told me, "We should only pray to Allah" Told me I should humble myself, take my Shahada You never know, the final day could be tomorrow Told 'em peace be upon him and I hopped out the Impala My other cousin trapper, wanna be a rapper Lean sippin', ring drippin', dresses very dapper I asked him why he do it, he tells me, "'Cause it's simple My body is a temple, any dwellin' soul And I'm gon' furnish mine in fine fabrics and gold" He told me that we Hebrew and we should pray to Yahweh As you smoke the zip and dip down on the highway Hopefully to Heaven, somebody call the reverend, 'cause [Chorus: CeeLo Green & Big Rube] We the ones who fight (All I know is to keep on goin') Just pretend, yeah, to carry on (Fight), carry on (Oh) We the ones who fight (Said, "All I know is to keep on goin'') [Outro: Big Rube & CeeLo Green] His fists that are cuffed tight No longer enough for this fight between darkness and light We must test our true might No time for the ones who might Only the strongest willed that will desire to instill righteous fire in those they've sired who fight This a new flight plan Applied in course of truth, not fiction No longer is the focus the irrelevant friction Between the yellow, the red, the black and white man We seek the true source, speak with a new voice Time's up, can no longer afford the expense of givin' you choice We now demand compliance, can't withstand defiance Clear your soul and mind of pseudoscience and archaic premises There's no right defense, you either with me or nemesis We the ones who fight
